Eurovision reaction: Who do you think is more excited Marty Whelan or this Dublin man?

Ireland has made it through to the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest – for the first time since 2013.

So, as you can imagine people were a tad excited about the news.

So much so, we can’t decide who’s reaction is better - Marty Whelan’s or Derek Mooney’s friend, Martin from Dublin.

First up:

Marty, who’s been masking up his real feelings to the world for four years now.

Last night was the first time he could let loose:

As O’Shaughnessy’s ballad, Together was accompanied by two male dancers acting out the romantic story of a couple about the end of a love affaiR.

Some were concerned whether it would be shown on Russian television, turns out, it was:
